Apple taking orders for new 24-inch LED Cinema Display

Apple didnít just announce the new unibody MacBook and MacBook Pro families at its notebook-centric event last month, the company also added a 24-inch LED monitor to its Cinema Display offerings and has just started taking orders for it via the online Apple Store.

The 24-inch glossy, widescreen display features a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution and uses LED-backlit technology to provide instant full-screen brightness and improved power efficiency. Many will despise the replacement of matte for glossy, surely, but others will welcome the new built-in iSight camera, microphone and stereo speakers.

Touted specifically for its redesigned MacBook offerings, the new LED Cinema Display also features an integrated MagSafe charger that allows users to plug in and power their Apple notebooks, plus a three-port USB 2.0 hub and an aluminum and glass enclosure. The new monitor from Apple will set you back $899 and shipments should begin sometime later this month.
